We highlight in this book the work of Mexican painters such as Diego Rivera, Alfredo Ramos, Fernando Castillo, Roberto Benítez, Luis Jaso, and Ezequiel Negrete. Tarsila Do Amaral from Brazil; Héctor Poleo from Venezuela; Diego Velazquez from Spain, and the Latina painters Carmen Lomas Garza.

NOTE FROM THE AUTHOR

Art has represented a constant research and enjoyment in my life. I have profound memories of me walking the corridors of the exhibit hall at the Diputación de Alicante as early as when I was ten years old. First taken by the hand of my father, a great intellectual that opened my eyes to the beauty of aesthetics and literature. Those encounters with mostly Spanish painters would remain with me forever. Later in my life I would walk the museums of the world delighting in the worlds that images brought to my eyes.

I have even attempted painting and sculpting. The walls of my friends’ homes around the world, keep that secret within the houses of generous people.
